Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected calls from senior ministers to advance ceasefire negotiations and deliberately restricted all aid to Gaza in order to force a surrender from Hamas, internal government transcripts published by Israeli news outlet Channel 13 have revealed.

The transcripts from an Israeli war cabinet meeting on 1 March show that Netanyahu ignored repeated calls from senior defence officials to move to the second phase of the ceasefire agreement in order to secure the release of Israeli captives, and then to renew hostilities after.

Netanyahu instead chose to unilaterally break the ceasefire in March and bar all aid to Gaza, in the hopes of forcing a surrender by Hamas.

This was despite Hamas complying with the talks, contrary to the war cabinet’s expectations.

Don't believe this BS. It was never about forcing Hamas to surrender. It is about killing as many Palestinians as possible.

Netanyahu is a bitch ass terrorist. He will go down in history as our generation’s hitler. People who invent the Time Machine will go try to kill him before they go back to the 40’s.

Netanyahu is the shit stain of the Israelites.

No, no this has to be fake. I specifically remember this gentleman saying he wasn't starving people at all. You really think someone would just, go around telling lies like that?

Warsaw Ghetto repeat. Albert Einstein is 100% correct!

just another evidence in a pile of them showing that netanyahu is a war criminal.

We don't need leaks to know that. Just look at the Israelis deliberately stopping aid and food trucks going into Gaza. It's not just Bibi. Most of the Israelis seem very okay with this, and some even participate into blocking food and aid. So, no surprise there.

EDIT: Oh and let's not forget the Israelis that are organizing BBQs on the side of the border. I'm sure it's all a misunderstanding.

Hamas doesn't care about Palestinians!

We will collectively punish Palestinians to put pressure on Hamas

Israel in a nutshell.

Leaks ? They're admitting it openly

The Hague -> unequivocal guilty vote -> solitary confinement, gruel, and grindcore music blasted in the face intermittently when those eyes start dibbing off to sleep

It was Israel itself which put Hamas in Gaza, supporting these with weapons and money, justifying this way the war against Palestina since more than half a century. Israel has free hand to do whatever they want, while there is the support by our good US boys and the UN is a mere Fake to calm the people, making believe that with this something will be done with their small talks

Wrong. Educate yourself.

Many Israeli leaders and academics have publicly agreed with this observation. For example, the former director of religious affairs in Israel, Avner Cohen, said that Israel pushed Hamas into taking action against Fatah and the PA. Back in 2001, Yasser Arafat described Hamas as a “creation of Israel” in an interview. Under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, some of Israel’s recent steps have, inadvertently, assisted Hamas.

Netanyahu believed Hamas helped keep Palestinians divided between areas controlled by the PA and Hamas, stopping the creation of a Palestinian state. To maintain a fragile truce and ensure Hamas remained focused on the government, he supposedly allowed Qatar’s money to enter Gaza via Israeli crossings.

Benjamin Netanyahu and israeli officials are your sources.
